GOING: G

Race 4 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Age Shooter has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. CANAL ROCKS (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1500m. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. SANTA MONICA BEACH (5) finished 2 lengths away in third last time out at Urawa. On a eight-day back-up. Strong run last time and shapes as a major threat. TAMURO KYURAMUN (3) returns from a spell of 21 months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Kokura over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. SO (2) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. No reason he cannot salute again.
